Thanks guys. Its my first time building a Beaufighter, nice looking aircraft. And the stripes really do add to it.

I have a bit more work done on the Beaufighter. I gave it a light flory wash followed by a flat coat. With the masks removed i have started to add the final bts, exhausts, rockets exhaust ring and rear canopy.

I have the last few bits to add as well as sort out some figures and i'll have this wrapped up.

Another beauty!

:shoutout: Oh very nice. For some reason I have never been much attracted to the Sky & Extra Dark Sea Grey schemes. But this build sure is changing my thoughts on that look! :hmm:

Thanks guys. I do rather like this scheme as well as the later RN schemes which have the white underside and same top colours.
